Budget Cutback Plan
v . i . '
The State 'Legislature'! ways and means committee officially
Cava up Tuesday in its earlier stab at reducing budgets of state func
tions by 10 per cent ' I
Ii was a foregone conclusion and, in fact, several of the ap
propriations bills already have received legislative approval in House
and Senate with' but little change from the budgets as submitted by
I Gov. Paul Patterson.
House Passes
Junior College
Assistance Bill
A bill to compel the State Board
of Higher Education to give fi
nancial aid to school districts
which run junior colleges was
passed 40-13 by the House and
sent to the Senate Tuesday.
This action came only a day
after the board announced it op
poses the bill. !
The Bend school district now is
the only one with a junior college
program. The annual aid would!
be $1,000 for each college, plus
$100 for each student attending it.
The House sent to the governor
a bill to let state departments
take out liability insurance cover
ing the acts of their employes. The
House also took action to make it
illegal for women to live off the
earnings of prostitutes..
The State Supreme Court, in
holding that the present law' ap
plies only to men, recently freed
a Portland woman who was
; charged with running a house of
prostitution. The bilk now goes to
the Senate.
The House passed and sent to
the Senate Tuesday a resolution
to create' an interim committee, to
The ways , and means commit
tee voted 8 to 6 at a Tuesday
meeting to go nn record with the
statement that is just isn't "feas
ible" to reduce the overall gener
al fund budget by 10 per cent
This action was prompted by
Sen. Gene Brown (R), Grants
Pass, who heads the subcommit
tee on higher education. He said
some cuts would be made in high
er education budgets and a 10
per cent student fee increase will
be recommended, but he didn't
want to be on the spot for a 10
per cent budget reduction when
other budgets weren't being re
duced. The ways and means commit
tee otherwise approved for pas
sage the bills adding two circuit
judges on Multnomah County and
one each in Lane and Douglas.

Closure Plan
First National Bank of Portland
Tuesday bucked a legislative pro
posal that all Oregon banks be re
quire to close j on Saturdays.
But other backers and employe
representatives tailed on the House
committee on financial institutions
to Introduce a bill for Saturday
bank closings.
The five-day bank week would
make it possible for the little banks
to compete with big banking
chains, it was stated at a commit
tee hearing by R. W. France of the
First State Bank of Milwaukie.
C. B. Stephenson, president of
First National, a statewide bank
chain, said, "We're open six days
a .week because of our responsibil
ity to the public. It's in our best
interests to serve the public so
they can get hanking service on
Saturdays just as they get service
from stores or filling stations."
Stephenson said his employes are
On a five-day work week anyway,
and if Saturday closing was man
datory he'd have "to fire 150 em
ployes and save hundreds of thou
sands1 of dollars a year." .
Virgil Solso, president of an
Oswego bank, said : small banks

that have a five-day week.
Spe&king for bank employes.
Richard McClintic, Portland, said
without Saturday closing legisla
tion many bank employes would be
tempted to form unions and de
mand a five-day work week.
State law now permits banks to
close on Saturdays, but few do.
The House committee did not de

Funds Denied
To Battleship
Oregon Board
The Oregon Senate voted 16-14
Tuesday to deny funds to the Bat
tleship Oregon Commission.
The action, if the Senate doesn't
change its mind, would end the
commission, which runs a museum
in honor of the famous battleship
which made the dramatic dash
around The Horn during the Spanish-American
War.
The vote was on a $7,500 appro
priation to let the commission op
erate for the next two years. "
The commission has a museum
in a house in Portland, where it
displays relics of the old ship. The
ship's mast is in a park' on the
Willamette River in Portland. ,
But the 'old ship herself, now a
rusting hulk, lies in a harbor at
uuam. i
During World War II, the State
of Oregon gave her up to the
United States government to be
sold for scrap to aid the war ef
fort But, instead, she was used
as a barge to haul supplies to
troops in the Pacific.
Opponents of the appropriation
argued that the relics could .be
transferred to another museum.
Sen. Warren McMinimee (R),
Tillamook, said the commission
promised as far back: as 1943 that
it wouldn't ask for more state
funds.
Sen. Mark Hatfield RV Salem,
criticized the Ways and : Means
committee for approving the ap
propriation, while telling him it
didn't have $6,000 to finance, his
bill to help needy students get
college educations.

Bill to Permit
Disqualification
Of Judges Gains
The Senate passed and sent to
the House Tuesday a bill' to let
attorneys disqualify circuit judges
from hearing cases. The bill would
allow the attorneys to file affi
davits of prejudice, and make
them show cause why a new judge
should be named.
The bill is designed to replace
the law which allowed lawyers to
get new judges merely by filing
motions.
In a case originating in Klamath
County, the State Supreme Court
ruled this law was unconstitutional.
